Gresiloth Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have recently been blasphemously altering loyalist models to the cause of the Plague Father - there is no denying that you imperial sheep have some sexy metal models to take advantage of! Here are some WIP shots of Chaplain Cassius of the Ultramarines... http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_2159.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_2160.jpg Lots of work still to do! C&C very welcome. By the way the scythe shaft is VERY unfinished, that's just the basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutteman Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thats one nice...ummm, hideous model that you've converted/defiled :lol: Nice work :) (NOW we know why he's so tough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 great work so far ,are you going to make the staff more woodlike or go metal or organic? also i cannot place the staff is it a GW piece or converted bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresiloth Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 I haven't really decided yet about the shaft texture, wood might be the way forward or I might try some cloth wrapped around it. It is simply made out of his crozius thing as seen below but with the wings cut off and extended with wire. The blade itself is a close combat weapon from the WFB Chaos Knights plastics. http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1240809_99060101302_SMUMCassiusmain_445x319.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresiloth Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Ok here's what I've done to cover the scythe shaft: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_2162.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester_prince Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Im not a fan of how you covered up the shoulder pad, t looks a bit large, but thats my only crit on a fantastic looking mini. Now defile Calgar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresiloth Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thanks for the comment - I think I kind of agree with you it looks too bulky! I might scrape it off and try something with tentacles to hide the insignia instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresiloth Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Slight green stuff update, re-done the shoulder, removed the Tyranid from his base and given him a spikey backpack. Any thoughts on the base? I'm undecided about the tentacle arms. I think he's pretty much ready to paint now though. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_2165.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_2166.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Wow thats wonderful. Its a good thing you have a base now, I was going to question what was up with his legs in the first few posts :P Your greenstuff skills are pretty good!The body-tendrils and the staff cloth looks really good! And the way the belly is wrapped with the chain is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresiloth Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Final WIP pic, marine shoulderpads and base texture added: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_2167.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha PTP Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 The model is way too top-heavy. You need to convert the lower half of the model some to make it look balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible_Trygon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Stumpy legs is something many metal marine models suffer from, but it can be remedied. Chop the lower and upper legs in half and pin them back together, leaving a gap to extend them slightly. It should solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Bloodhowl Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Awesome model so far, but theres something not quite right with the bolt pistol arm at the shoulder joint if you ask me. Looks too low and too far forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresiloth Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 I see what you're saying, although it is actually glued exactly where it's meant to be. I filled the joint with some GS, so maybe that's what makes it look a bit different to his right shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Scourge Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I wasn't a fan of the right shoulder pad because it still look overly large, but looks much better painted. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asrech Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Very col conversion mate, The scythe came out nice and doing his bonic/metal face as bone worked great as a rotting nurgle conversion. Thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Bloodhowl Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I think to fix the right shoulder you need only to raise it up a bit at the top with some GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresiloth Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Hmm, I'm a bit confused because if anything the shoulder is bulkier than it was due to the green stuff layer. On the original model the shoulder is basically like that anyway: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1240809_99060101302_SMUMCassiusmain_445x319.jpg But maybe I've just glued it fractionally further forward? Perhaps painting the inner edge (armpit area) a dark colour would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I like the paint scheme, and the basing looks really good also. I agree with previous posts that the bolt pistol arm doesnt quite look right. I think its a mixture of youve glued it slightly further forward, the actual should pad is slightly thicker, and the detailing on the shoulder pad makes it look larger aswell. I think that your suggestion of painting the inside edge of the shoulder pad a darker colour would certainly help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
